typedef support

[francescoagati]

hi, there is mode for add support for types export?

[back2dos]

Across all targets, typedefs don't exist at compile time. What's your use case?

[francescoagati]

imagine this type in haxe

@:expose typedef Player = {name:String,surname:String}

in javascript with jsdoc and typescript i want to import the type player generated from haxe in the file App.d.ts in this mode for example

/**
 * @param player { import("./App.d.ts").Player }
 */
function walk(player) {
    console.log(`Walking ${p.name}...`);
}

@back2dos So that means they don't exist in the AST? So it'd be impossible to even get hold of them to generate TS type defs, it appears.

typedefs exist in AST. from them we should generate TS interface if it's a typedef to a structure, or type if it's some other type

The problem is that typedefs don't have a name in the AST, isn't it?

[nadako]

They do, that's their purpose - to give a name to a type :)

It's here https://github.com/nadako/hxtsdgen/blob/8244c170445c7f763045f2eca18a1b77beab8688/src/hxtsdgen/TypeRenderer.hx#L69
